  • About us

    We envision a world where information about proteins and their behavior transforms our understanding of how the biological world operates.

    Who are we?

    Unlocking  protein interactions to accelerate therapeutic, diagnostic and vaccine advances.

    The vision

    At Fluidic Analytics, we believe insights on proteins and their behavior will help our customers develop better treatments and diagnose diseases faster and more accurately.

    By producing accessible instrumentation and software solutions, Fluidic Analytics aims to make understanding of protein interactions widespread across research and industry, allowing quantitative analysis of the most complex targets and backgrounds.

    The products

    “In the play of life, DNA is the script but proteins are the actors”

    Our products are based on a fundamentally new technology platform developed at the University of Cambridge. This platform enables the rapid characterization of proteins based on the physical properties that determine their function. And because proteins are characterized in solution and in their natural state — without the need for surfaces, matrices or ionization — this platform gives our customers access to unique quantitative insights into protein behavior that are not accessible using other approaches.
